+=head1 NAME
+
+llvm-as - LLVM assembler
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+llvm-as [options] [filename]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The B<llvm-as> command invokes the LLVM assembler.  It reads a file containing
+human-readable LLVM assembly language, translates it to LLVM bytecode, and
+writes the result into a file or to standard output.
+
+If F<filename> is omitted or is C<->, then B<llvm-as> reads its input from
+standard input.
+
+If an output file is not specified with the B<-o> option, then
+B<llvm-as> sends its output to a file or standard output by following
+these rules:
+
+=over 
+
+=item *
+
+If the input is standard input, then the output is standard output.
+
+=item *
+
+If the input is a file that ends with C<.ll>, then the output file is of
+the same name, except that the suffix is changed to C<.bc>.
+
+=item *
+
+If the input is a file that does not end with the C<.ll> suffix, then the
+output file has the same name as the input file, except that the C<.bc>
+suffix is appended.

+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over
+
+=item B<-f>
+
+Force overwrite.  Normally, B<llvm-as> will refuse to overwrite an
+output file that already exists.  With this option, B<llvm-as>
+will overwrite the output file and replace it with new bytecode.
+
+=item B<--help>
+
+Print a summary of command line options.
+
+=item B<-o> F<filename>
+
+Specify the output file name.  If F<filename> is C<->, then B<llvm-as>
+sends its output to standard output.
+
+=item B<--stats>
+
+Print statistics.
+
+=item B<--time-passes>
+
+Record the amount of time needed for each pass and print it to standard
+error.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 EXIT STATUS
+
+If B<llvm-as> succeeds, it will exit with 0.  Otherwise, if an error
+occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value.
